Two years ago, a CIA official sat across from our undercover journalist at a bar in Virginia. He ordered drinks. He flashed his badge. And then, unprompted, he started talking.
He admitted the CIA withheld intelligence from the sitting President of the United States.
He described how FISA was weaponized to surveil Trump and his team.
He said all of this on camera.
We published it. America watched. And now he's suing me for $10 million.
Let me be clear about what he's claiming: that our journalist committed "fraud" by using a dating app to meet him. That's it. A dating profile. Undercover investigative journalism is the same technique used by restaurant critics, investigative reporters, and 60 Minutes for half a century.
He also claims "wiretapping"—in Virginia, a one-party consent state where our recording was completely legal.
And the damages he's demanding? Compensation for "humiliation, depression, fear, and terror" caused by... the public hearing his own words.
This lawsuit isn't really about a dating profile or hurt feelings. It's a message to every journalist in America: expose the intelligence community, and we will bury you in legal fees until you break.
I'm not settling. I'm not backing down. I'm taking this to discovery—where we'll subpoena documents, depose witnesses, and expose even more of what they've been hiding. If we have to, we'll take it to the Supreme Court.
Legal defense against a well-funded plaintiff—with what appears to be Deep State backing—costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Every motion, every filing, every hour of attorney time adds up fast.
He thought the camera would stay hidden. He thought his words would never see daylight. He thought wrong.
Let's finish what we started.
In Truth,
James O'Keefe Founder and CEO O'Keefe Media Group
P.S. Discovery is where the real fight begins—and where we often uncover more than the plaintiff bargained for. Your support today doesn't just defend this case. It funds the next investigation.
